Signed Ceramic Sculpture of an Ancient Aztec Deity, "Aztec God Quetzalcoatl"

The most important deity in the Aztec pantheon, Tezcatlipoca or Quetzalcoatl is also one of the oldest, first appearing during the pre-Mexica Teotihuacan era. He is the god of fertility, of the wind, of life, of maize and of agriculture, and is said to have taught humans how to measure time and create the calendar. Working in ceramic, Angel Cerón interprets an image depicted in the Codex Borbonicus.
